If you missed it on the N64 there's a windows port of Doom64 that's come to my attention: http://www.doom2.net/~elbryan/abs-download.html You need the Doom II wad file and both downloads. If nothing else it's got the best music of any Doom game, IMO.

I'm not a Doom fan, but thanks for the info!

Wasn't Doom64 just Doom ported to the 64? So is that like Doom ported to the N64 ported to Doom 2?

*scratches head*

/me looks for that Daily Victim...

Where do you get the doom2.wad file?

No, Doom64 is a completely new engine with new graphics, levels and music, which makes it the most original Doom on consoles. Unfortunately it came after both Turok and Goldeneye, I believe, so it's overlooked.

From a copy of Doom II. You'll probably be able to hunt down a secret, illegal copy of it on the net, but there's a Doom compilation with all the original PC stuff and it's usually under $10 (though I see BB upped the price in preparation for Doom III,) so you should really buy it if you like FPSs. With something to spruce up the graphics and add kb+mouse control, like jDoom, it holds up remarkably well.

i totally forgot about this project...i'm going to install it when i get home..thanks for posting this

I never knew any version of doom for any console changed the graphics, I have doom 2 (legally) so I might give it a look :wink: Thanks

I remember Doom64 I just thought it was a port, I stand corrected.

it is still 10 at Wal-Mart. I always seem to be drawn to it. I have yet to buy it, but will after going through my CC games

I remember when it was illegal to own a PC and not own a copy of Doom and/or Doom II.

Who doesn't like two Dooms?

DOOM fans should pick up the dooms collectors edition that was recently released for pc. It has DOOM 1 (Ultimate Doom), Doom2 and Final Doom on it. Its only 14.99, I am hyped for doom 3 now after playing the old dooms again.
